That and then they reveal a new primarch that's not Lion El'Jonson but like any of the others. With the caption "Yeah we were lion a lot to youtubers".
I'd find that hilarious if only because so many of them have been insisting on it for at least a year.
I fink so. But de boyz was jawwin' bout how sharpshootah boys must be purple.
Naturally I 'ad to krump em cuz every git knowz ya can't see purple orkz. Dem boyz was jus talking a pile of squig dung.
It costs $11,000 and doesn't come with the front legs or head. Those are sold separately for $200 each. The mold quality is amazing though, totally worth it.
It's so absolutely absurd they didn't put female lions in the first printing, and you had to wait for the supplement. GW, just trying to get that bag again.
Leman Russ stood, abruptly, mid-feast on the Space Wolves Homeworld and announced he'd had a vision (IIRC) and was going to find the Tree of Life, which would allow for the Emperor to be healed, and promised he would return to his chapter at the end of all things, the Wolf Time.
I believe the 13th Company (Those with the Wulfen curse) were the ones that ran into the warp. During the Destruction of Prospero their Company chased fleeing Thousand Sons through a warp rift and were basically thought lost.
Edit: corrected some typos
Gylfaginning actually refers to Ragnarok as "axe-time, sword-time, wind-time, wolf-time" some translations use the word "age" instead of "time"
So technically they're fine. Whether or not the writer who came up with it knows the various translations of Snorri? Who knows.
Ragnarok is more than just the great final battle, but also the beginning of a new era where the majority of the old gods die, and the surviving gods and two humans restart a new and fertile Earth. To avoid the symbolism of Ragnarok and the nature of rebirth in it, they called it Wolf Time. I'm certain the end of 40k won't be so neat and tidy.
Or, joke ahead:
They're closet *furries*.
And of course they couldn’t just call it something not wolfy.
My favorite part of Leman Russ was when he came out of the warp and said it’s Wolfing Time.
Leman Russ comes banging through the doors of the Fang, looking mildly hung-over. The Wolves within are falling over themselves to prostrate themselves before him, both overjoyed and full of dread at his return.
"Father! You've returned, after all this time! Did you find the Tree of Life? Is now truly the Wolf Time?"
"'Wolf Time?' The fuck are you idiots on about? I just drank a bit too much and decided to go into the Warp for a pack of smokes. Five minutes ago. Wait, why does everything around here look all... wolf-y?"
Bjorn the Fell-Handed comes trundling down the hallway to see what the fuss is about, then immediately turns around and goes back where he came when he sees his primarch, muttering angrily about Russ being a cock.
Pretty much ran into the EoT looking for a myth that may or may not heal Jimmy Space assuming being stuck Chaos central hasn't corrupted the fuck out of it.
I remember some people suspecting the "tree" is actually Isha.
I think it was on Facebook, but I saw someone comment that as the lion wakes up and walks out the door of his chamber he gets sucker punched by Leman Russ who has been hiding behind his door this whole time waiting for payback instead of being in the warp looking for the tree.
Cracked me the fuck up.
I’m expecting at least 3 uploads before tonight saying “the Lion is coming!!!!!!! For REAL REAL this time! Definitely NOT clickbait!!!”
Minimal 3. Take it or leave it.
It's actually gonna be kinda dumb if he doesn't look around, go fuck no, and does his own thing. He doesn't give a shit about diplomacy like bobby does.
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
In the fortress-monastery, the ancient fortress-monastery,
The Lion sleeps 'til tonight,
In stasis he's been kept, in secrets he's been wrapped,
But now it's time to rise!
On the Golden Throne, the mighty Golden Throne,
The Emperor 'waits his Lion!
With a roar he awakens, his armor he's taken,
the Lion wakes tonight!
Wee heeheehee weeoh aweem away
Rrr, la la la weeoh aweem away
Hush, my brothers, don't fear, my brothers,
The Lion's returned to fight!
Hush, my brothers, don't fear, my brothers,
The Lion's returned to fight!
Wah oh oh, wah oh oh, wah oh wimoweh
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
(No, I'm not sorry.)
The lion returns and is immediately killed by Abbadon in a way that frames Guilliman. The Dark Angels turn on the Imperium at legion strength with Luther as warmaster of the revolution
There haven’t really been any leaks of the Lion - the “leaks” we’ve seen with regards to him are not distinguishable from speculation. No model, no stats, no rules, etc
\> Lion just randomly walks into Guilliman's command post
\> "Brother?!" Guilliman asks in shock.
\> Lion punches him in the face and knees him in the dick.
\> Leaves
\> Doesn't reach out for 200 years.
\> Gives half assed apology and asks if they want to work together
Dante crying in the corner.
Always kinda loved how Rob was having a swell ole time south of the rift being a literal demigod and dantes stuck in nihlus having a terrible time.
"And by this, we of course mean that the celestial lions will make a return."
That would be incredible
Notts would get burnt down
Of course the only logical answer
*pulls off rubber mask to reveal the Silent King* “Yeah I just hit the snooze button before”
That and then they reveal a new primarch that's not Lion El'Jonson but like any of the others. With the caption "Yeah we were lion a lot to youtubers". I'd find that hilarious if only because so many of them have been insisting on it for at least a year.
As a DA player with about 7000 pts of DA I think I'd probably cry 😂😂😂
OK but what if they released Leman Russ and then said something like the Lion shall return next year.
The Inner Circle jerk
15k points of models would end up straight in the bin
"we're coming for you, ork snipers!"
Oh zog, dey comin' for our zniperz
“We have snipers?”
They're just regular shootaz who've painted their bullets red so they go fasta.
An OuR fAzeS PuRPL iZ SneAkkY
You not see Gorm
And their targetin' fings blue for moar headshotz
I fink so. But de boyz was jawwin' bout how sharpshootah boys must be purple. Naturally I 'ad to krump em cuz every git knowz ya can't see purple orkz. Dem boyz was jus talking a pile of squig dung.
SPEAK UP YA GIT
I see this as an absolute win!
That is the best possible outcome.
I see this as an absolute win
As someone who has been playing Celestial Lions since... 4E/5E? I'm okay with this.
Even better.
I'm taking this as a sign the Detroit lions will start being good again.
I would prefer that infinitely to having another primarch.
> celestial lions https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Celestial_Lions Clearly!
Okay props where props are due. This is very cute.
Gyrinx kits are coming people, it's finally time for the cat Eldar faction to rise
That'd be awesome, tbf! Exodites ftw!
I love kitties
FINALLY! We’re getting lions in 40K.
Kill team, Mecha lions
CyberMastiffs < Mecha Lions
Zoids confirmed
Just regular lions It only takes a couple million to destroy a star
Even better, it's just Beast Wars Transformers via 40k
New Chapter: Space Lions
Codex: Literally Just Normal Lions
Troop option: Lion. Weapons: claws, teeth HQ option: Bit bigger lion. Weapons: Also claws, teeth Stratagems: Being a lion
Fast attack: Some fast lions. Weapons: claws, teeth Heavy Support: A fat lion. Weapons: claws, teeth, sitting on people.
Super Heavy option: actual lion sized lion, forge world exclusive in solid resin.
Lord of War: an actual live lion.
It costs $11,000 and doesn't come with the front legs or head. Those are sold separately for $200 each. The mold quality is amazing though, totally worth it.
For the first 200 casts, then they play fast and loose with the mould and the resin quality diminishes significantly!
Finally, we call learn who would win: 1 trillion lions or the sun
It's so absolutely absurd they didn't put female lions in the first printing, and you had to wait for the supplement. GW, just trying to get that bag again.
Only male lions can be made into space lions though, female lions have to join the Sisters So*roar*itas
This better not be bait GW. I swear to the Emperor.
They reveal to great applause…Leman Russ, screaming out of the warp
As a Space Wolves player I would die of laughter
Remind me again, why did he run into the webway (or EoT) for?
Leman Russ stood, abruptly, mid-feast on the Space Wolves Homeworld and announced he'd had a vision (IIRC) and was going to find the Tree of Life, which would allow for the Emperor to be healed, and promised he would return to his chapter at the end of all things, the Wolf Time. I believe the 13th Company (Those with the Wulfen curse) were the ones that ran into the warp. During the Destruction of Prospero their Company chased fleeing Thousand Sons through a warp rift and were basically thought lost. Edit: corrected some typos
>the end of all things, the Wolf Time The Space Wolves have Ragnarok? Badass!
Of course Space Vikings have Space Ragnarok. You'd have to be space crazy to not think that!
And of course the name has to involve the word Wolf. I'm prettt sure Russ trademarked the word so he gets a kickback every time it's said
It pains me they could have just called it Ragnarok, but chose to call it wolf time instead <.<
Gylfaginning actually refers to Ragnarok as "axe-time, sword-time, wind-time, wolf-time" some translations use the word "age" instead of "time" So technically they're fine. Whether or not the writer who came up with it knows the various translations of Snorri? Who knows.

Bjorn the Fell-Handed comes trundling down the hallway to see what the fuss is about, then immediately turns around and goes back where he came when he sees his primarch, muttering angrily about Russ being a cock.
To find the tree of life
I hope it is a lemon. A lemon is a mighty fruit.
*yes*
My favourite.
Lemon stealing heretics!
Hmm Nathan Drake is that you I assume that’s trying to heal Big E right?
Pretty much ran into the EoT looking for a myth that may or may not heal Jimmy Space assuming being stuck Chaos central hasn't corrupted the fuck out of it. I remember some people suspecting the "tree" is actually Isha.
I think it was on Facebook, but I saw someone comment that as the lion wakes up and walks out the door of his chamber he gets sucker punched by Leman Russ who has been hiding behind his door this whole time waiting for payback instead of being in the warp looking for the tree. Cracked me the fuck up.
They continue their Peter Griffon and Giant Chicken fight across the cosmos
ALRITE, I MANAGED TO GET BACK, WHICH OF YOU MILKSOPS FEELS HE'S IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO CONVEY A MESSAGE TO TERRA WITH THE FULL STORY
And it's a Chaos Leman Russ tank model. The ultimate troll.
They screwed with SW players SO HARD at the tail end of 7th edition.
I would actually like it better if it was because now we know it’s not.
"The lion is asleep. This is to signify that he's not the next to return."
Lion wakes up, and walks over and sits beside a wolf, double reveal!
Primaris Liontenant incoming
Next share is Luther putting the lion back to bed.
*In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonighttttt!* (Cue a picture of a sleepy Lion el'Jonson being tucked into bed.)
Hmm, tonight…tonight…bit nightlords reveal confirmed!
It'd be funny if they released an animal lion model and they'd be like "Looks its the lion that you all wanted and were asking for!"
Plastic thunderhawk part 2
Ah, beat me to it. Valrak will be having a field day with this when his stream starts tonight
Th'bluddeh lion has retuuurned!
ViNDicAtiOn!!!
💯
He might get so hyped up that he wil fall *onto* his roof.
Tin foil hat will be on PROMINENT display.
We can't say he didn't warn us !
I’m expecting at least 3 uploads before tonight saying “the Lion is coming!!!!!!! For REAL REAL this time! Definitely NOT clickbait!!!” Minimal 3. Take it or leave it.
EVERYBODY STAY CALM STAY F***ING CALM
I just want him to wake up get a grip of the situation and without much asking just fuck shit up.
I wonder how he'll react to the Ecclisiarchy, I can't imagine him having much restraint around them like Bobby G has done
It's actually gonna be kinda dumb if he doesn't look around, go fuck no, and does his own thing. He doesn't give a shit about diplomacy like bobby does.
His actual canon first words to Robby G: "What the fuck?"
So civil war part 2, this time it's reverse heresey
Bobby G grew up as the perfect child. The Lion grew up in a Dark Souls planet. They are not the same. The lions about to go on boss rush mode.
“Can i go back to sleep now?”
Looks around: 'fucks sake' Goes back to bed
F*CK THAT! ***EVERYONE RIOT!!!***
Updated White Lions confirmed! /s
Huge if true
New Dark Angels Primaries Lieutenants confirmed!
Dark Angels “lion-guard” primaris. They are armed with long stick to push everyone away from the Lion’s crypt.
Surely whips and chairs, and have little top hats on?
Omg! Yes yes!
"Surprise! It was me, LUTHER, all along!"
They get to the announcement, show Dark Angles icons etc, then up pops Alpharius with a new model
Alpharius wearing a paper bag on his head that has a poorly drawn face of the Lion.
And a watcher he made out of sticks and some cloth
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away In the fortress-monastery, the ancient fortress-monastery, The Lion sleeps 'til tonight, In stasis he's been kept, in secrets he's been wrapped, But now it's time to rise! On the Golden Throne, the mighty Golden Throne, The Emperor 'waits his Lion! With a roar he awakens, his armor he's taken, the Lion wakes tonight! Wee heeheehee weeoh aweem away Rrr, la la la weeoh aweem away Hush, my brothers, don't fear, my brothers, The Lion's returned to fight!

Wah oh oh, wah oh oh, wah oh wimoweh Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away (No, I'm not sorry.)
\>Lion wakes up, sees Guilliman in control of the Imperium O BOY HERE WE GO AGAIN
Imperium Secundus Secundus
Heresy Boogaloo
Chaos Dark Angels confirmed
“I’ve seen this one before!”
Maybe GW marketing heard of a potential leak and decided to half-leak themselves
They haven't been exactly subtle in their marketing recently. It's been pretty obvious the Lion is coming back.
It’s almost too obvious
This right here makes me nervous lol
The lion returns and is immediately killed by Abbadon in a way that frames Guilliman. The Dark Angels turn on the Imperium at legion strength with Luther as warmaster of the revolution
I think my favorite thing about this option, is that the lion did return, but we didn't actually get a model for him still.
There haven’t really been any leaks of the Lion - the “leaks” we’ve seen with regards to him are not distinguishable from speculation. No model, no stats, no rules, etc
Everyone knows the lion is coming already though
They're using classic Scamrak material! :D
Very subtle GW… lol
they haven't been very subtle about this for the whole AoO storyline to be honest, they already hinted it even before the first AoO
I know I was being sarcastic lol
Bloody FINALLY! Felinids! New regimental choice for Guard with unique troops unit and upgrade sprue! Can't wait!
I swear to god GW better not be playing with us. Waited years for this fucker to wake up finally!!! 😂😂 can’t wait to give GW more of my money lol
If they’re trolling us, that’s some next level trolling.
Anyone got a link to the video?
https://youtu.be/0Lzs6J3iy74
My only complaint is that I don't think Lion el'Jonson would be as adorable as that lion!
Don’t let him hear you say that, i think he reads this sub
What’s the lion about?
Lion El Johnson of the Dark Angles will return. Seems the daemon invasion of the rock was noisy enough to wake him up
Damn daemon kids waking up old men!
“Get off the piece of rock that used to be my lawn!”
Allegedly he was already awake doing stuff
He was laying in bed playing on his dataslate and reading reddit
Thank you!
I'd make the geometry joke but I'm a Blood Angels player and I'm tired of being on the receiving end.
Geometry?
Misspelling Angel as angle. Very acute of the commentator to notice.
These jokes are funnier from a angle of someone who doesnt play dark angels
Mornin', Angle.
Heavily implied that the "Key Piece" Vashtorr was trying to kidnap during the invasion WAS The Lion
Its happening! ITS HAPPENING!
They really couldn't wait just 5 more hours could they
Maybe to try and tempt UK people to stay up for the stream to 03:00?
Where was it posted? YouTube. Spotted now, cheers!
Youtube
The Celestial Lions are back!
Celestial Lions upgrade sprue confirmed.
[удалено]
Holy shit…. Also gotta love the humour😂
Blood Lions, incoming...
That's funny as shit
I hope the first bit of fluff is Johnson just punching Guilliman with no context what so ever.
\> Lion just randomly walks into Guilliman's command post \> "Brother?!" Guilliman asks in shock. \> Lion punches him in the face and knees him in the dick. \> Leaves \> Doesn't reach out for 200 years. \> Gives half assed apology and asks if they want to work together
Codex: cat girls, i know it's coming.
GW missed a huge opportunity to troll the community by not releasing this on April 1st
Any second now Valrak’s gonna post a video about it.
Primarch 2: electric boogaloo
IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING I CANT BELIEVE IT
If this is some form of troll from GW, I swear to the Emperor i will join Slaanesh.
It's gonna be Korhil. The best lion in all of warhammer.
[удалено]
Oh in the ~~jungle~~ rock, the mighty ~~jungle~~ rock, the Lion ~~sleeps~~ wakes tonight!
If it's not the Lion it's going to be the most epic troll job ever.
Cant wait for them to reveal Johnson Lion, the primaris captain
INB4 a tank called the Johnson is revealed.
Finally Primaris Lieutenant in Lion Pattern Gravis Armor!!!!
AW FUCK ITS JUST PRIMARIS CATO SICARIUAS RIDING A LION WE GOT SCAMMED
I hope this leads to an Imperium civil war. Don't want 40k to turn into End Times WHF herohammer.
Dunno about civil war but I can totally see Nihilius being ruled over by Mr Jonson while big Bob rules Sanctus independently of each other
I see it as a WRE and ERE type thing. Mostly all the same side and the same faction, but conflict potential between them
Oh, I like this.
The problem is that The Rock is on the Terran side of the Rift
It moves. 😀
Dante crying in the corner. Always kinda loved how Rob was having a swell ole time south of the rift being a literal demigod and dantes stuck in nihlus having a terrible time.
Oh boy they are not being subtle about this.
I honestly thought this was a shitpost until i saw the GW version on YouTube
It would be epic if they now show a BBC documentary about lions
If this is a slow burn April Fools, you have got to admire their game.
Hopefully they show rules for 10th edition a bit.
Watch this be a big wind up pitch for April fools.
I'm 100% expecting this to be a new HQ primaris model to match up to Dante, or a revamped Deathwing termie. Let's wait and see
High elf white lions of chrace confirmed
So this means Aslan is one of the lost primarchs right?
April 1st approaches...
HYPE. HYPE. HYPE. HYPE. GROND.
They’re actually teasing their White Lions of Chrace model for AoS.
Yall didn't have to hunt down relics or nothin
GW is just openly fucking with its audience at this point, and I can't decide if I respect them for that or not.
Lion El'Jonson coming back to do whatever he does. Or something like that. Gotta get all the primarchs back into 40k
This actually for their new lion king movie game.
New white lions of chrace models?
Could be a massive April fools troll ?
